Tenugui Inspired!

Gosh, it has been awhile since I've made a card! Today's Inspirational Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers was a wonderful one to get me going again. I believe that this is the first time I have actually used the "grass" side of this stamp and I LIKE it! Since my new favorite color is Baja Breeze, I just had to combine it with white to make this card.

Stamps: Inspired By Nature, Sidekick Sayings (Stampin' UP)

Cardstock: Baja Breeze (Stampin' UP), White (Georgia-Pacific)

Ink: Versamark

Other Supplies: Detail White Embossing Powder Ribbon, Butterfly Punch, Dimensionals, and a heat gun

Happy Easter Art and Mom!

Art, I know you check every day to see if I have uploaded any new cards and then tell mom that there are new ones! Sorry I'm not better about uploading them as I make them....

I didn't make a card all week, but combined three of the week's challenges on this card. Monday's Technique Lover's Challenge was to ink up the negative side of an embossing folder before you run it through the Cuttlebug, and I used Bordering Blue ink with the Script Embossing Folder. Wednesday's Sketch Challenge looked like an awesome one, so I used it as the layout. Saturday's Inspiration Challenge piece was really beautiful and reminded me of blues and ocean themes.....this is what I came up with.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: All Holidays Petal Prints

Ink: Bordering Blue

Cardstock: Bordering Blue, Textured Basic Gray, White

Other Supplies: Twine, Plastic Embellishments, Cuttlebug, Script Embossing Folder, Foam Dots, Distressing Tool
